Best wedge of 2021: The top 5

1. Vokey SM8

What Titleist says: “SM8 features a reimagined progressive center of gravity, which produces the most accurate and forgiving Vokey wedge yet. Using tungsten weights and varied hosel lengths, the Vokey R&D team has moved the CG outside of the wedge head and placed it in front of the face, resulting in increased MOI and exceptional feel.”

Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying

• @B_Of_H: “Much more forgiving on toe hits than any wedge I’ve played.”
• jetmetch879: “SM8 is hard to beat. Just my opinion. I know there are a ton of great options out there, but for me, Vokey just always performs the best.”

2. Cleveland RTX ZipCore

What Cleveland says: “So we tore our flagship RTX wedge down to its core and rebuilt it from the inside out. Introducing RTX ZipCore. The ZipCore is a low-density material at the heart of RTX. It’s an inside-to-out solution that’s elegant in form and function, with unprecedented results.”

Here’s what GolfWRX members are saying

• @rchera3: “I have the RTX Zip Core 54.10 and 58.06 and love them! I hit the SM8 also and did not like them as much as the RTX Zip Core.”
• @smvolkma: “Great turf interaction with the mid grinds. I went with a modus 115, and the feel is wonderful.”
